Outside the house is the hottest time of the year. The rolling heat wave even makes the air ethereal, but inside the house is as cool as spring. The broken ice and ice water in the wall continuously take away the heat on the wall along the copper pipe, making the whole room full of coolness.
This is a recording and broadcasting hall. The mayor is sitting on the sofa and talking to the host with his legs tilted. From time to time, cheers and applause burst out in the audience. It can be seen that the mayor enjoys such a unique interview. The humorous language often makes the host laugh. Half an hour later, when the video indicator stopped, everyone was relieved, including the "actors" on the seat who were undergoing professional performance training.
"This is a good thing. The key is that your ideas and creativity are very advanced. This is the most important thing in this era!" the mayor''s assistant gave him a cold water applied towel. He wiped his face. The little heat on his body seemed to disappear at once. While walking out with Du Lin, he asked, "I think there will be others who want to publicize their governance ideas and propositions in this more vivid way. I will introduce some people. Is there no problem?"
This is the second program. Each tape can be played for 90 minutes, of which 50 minutes are short plays. At the same time, so many students are studying in the performing arts school. Free labor is not in vain. They found two screenwriters and compiled some trivial stories to practice for these students. In the other 40 minutes, there will be some talk shows, some news interpretations like "old news", and about 15 minutes of current politics.
In the first phase, Dooling only charged a cost price, and the response was very enthusiastic. All the 5000 plates of tape sent out have been sold out, not to mention that some of them have even flowed into some "rental stores", becoming the most popular content. So far, more than 7000 users have planned to subscribe to phase III and more than 10000 users have subscribed to phase VI. this number is still expanding.
When Du Lin talked about this with the mayor, the mayor immediately realized that the effect of this thing was far more effective than the traditional media such as newspaper. First, the audience groups are placed there. Those who can afford or rent tape are at least the middle class, and these people are the mainstays of the Empire. Second, the freshness of new media will always exceed people''s freshness of newspapers. Everyone wants to see if this new thing is interesting.
No matter what purpose these people are for, as long as they look at this tape, they will see the front political comments, which is also expanding the popularity of the interviewees.
It can be imagined that when the audience of Dooling is more and more, he is equal to mastering a news mouthpiece not weaker than the George family, and has more ruling power than the George family. People who buy newspapers are not necessarily middle-class, but those who can see these programs must be the worst and middle-class.
The middle class pays more attention to politics than those at the bottom of society, and the influence of any public opinion is also the most direct to them. Once people realize the value of Turing, there will certainly be more counterfeiters. But it doesn''t matter. Dooling is one step faster than others. In addition, he has advanced ideas. The gap will not be shortened, but will be more and more.
After throwing the scarf to his assistant, the mayor lowered his voice, "I have passed the gas in the party. They have no objection to you joining the new party. By the way, I have found a good place for you." he pushed the door open and walked with Du Lin to the aisle outside the recording hall, "in Otis, do you know that place?"
Turin frowned slightly. Otis is not a prosperous city, close to the middle of the Empire, about 300 kilometers south of the imperial capital. You can get to the imperial capital in a day by steam locomotive. It seems that this place is very close to the imperial capital and should be very prosperous, but on the contrary, it is a poor place.
There is no pillar industry, no tourism resources such as Yilian, no seafood resources such as Willis, and even worse than tenar. At least tenar is still a transit station at home and abroad. That bird place doesn''t even have pastures and farms!
It was precisely because he began to operate actively that Dooling learned about more than 200 cities throughout the Empire. The only thing Otis can satisfy people is light industry, but the scale is also extremely limited. The long-term lack of economic development has led many local people to leave the city. Compared with those big cities with millions of people, less than 400000 people in the whole city of Otis live there.
It''s like a dead place without any vitality. Do you think you''re too easy to talk when you throw yourself there?
Noticing the change in Dooling''s eyes, the mayor patted him on the arm, "I know Otis is not a good place, but it is also a good place. Next, I will seek the post of governor of corsenas. You only need to endure for four years. After I take office, everything will be better. Moreover, don''t you think the poorer the place is, the easier it is to develop? There are no capitalists like Big Macs and there are no friends with you Work hard and think of subordinates with more power. You are the biggest one there! "
"If I really run you to the imperial capital, do you think you can stay there for a few minutes? Now the governor over there is also my friend. When appropriate, I will ask him to give you certain policies. Only, Doolin, the opportunity is rare. You should take good advantage of it. No one is the mayor. Many people have climbed all their lives, that is, a mayor!"
"I have something else to do this afternoon. Let''s go first! Bye!"
After seeing the mayor leave, durin shook his head. When he looked at the mayor''s back, a special thing flashed through his eyes.
When the mayor returned to the office, he locked the door from the inside. He picked up the phone. After thinking about it, he dialed his old friend. Because he used a dedicated line, he didn''t need to consider that the operator was too busy or asleep. The phone was connected soon.
"How''s it going?"
The mayor walked to the window with the phone, looked at the countless tourists like gravel on the beach, paused for a few seconds, and said, "it''s done, he agreed. He made a very interesting thing. I think you''ll be interested."
"Really? You are all interested. It must be a good thing. Tell me!"
The two said on the phone for about 30 minutes, and the mayor hung up. He blinked, pushed open the compartment door and lay in bed. There was some bone touching crackle in his body. He was in his forties and his physical function was declining. After sitting for a long time, when lying in bed, he would feel a little uncomfortable in his spine. He used a little strength down and made a hard board bed. After a while, when the pain passed, he was much more comfortable.
In fact, he didn''t mean to invite Turin to politics. According to his own meaning, he didn''t want businessmen to enter the field of politics, but someone sent a message to him and tried to pull Turin in.
At first, he thought that Turin had smashed the upper class of the new party with the money. Later, he asked his political mentor about it before he knew the inside story.
Although ANP failed and the official hanged hodok on the gallows in the imperial capital, it also made many people realize that the money is likely to be in Turin''s hands. They couldn''t get the money, but they didn''t want to see Turin squander it or use it elsewhere. Instead of watching him spend money, it''s better to get him in and let him spend the money on the Empire.
Give him some hope, and then force him to spend money. When the money is almost spent, he will find a remote place to drag him there all his life. Durin''s recent move has touched the sensitive nerves of some people, not only the uncertain $70 million, but also set up a fellow countryman Association and plundered funds wantonly by selling private wine. A progress party has emerged in the Empire, and the people above don''t want to have another fellow countryman party or private wine party.
The new party and the old party seem to have opposing forms and positions, but in private, you have me and I have you. From the fact that many senior figures of the new party are aristocrats in the old period, we can find that there is no conflict between the two as people think.
In other words, in the eyes of the senior management of the new party and the old party, no matter how the Empire turns back and forth, whoever comes to power and who goes down, is also in the hands of "their own people". It''s just my turn today and your turn tomorrow. Everything is under control. But once more parties appear and divide up insufficient resources, what if one day the new party or the old party is discharged from the core of power?
This is something we must guard against, which is more important than guarding against capital forces.
So how?
Very simple, weave a beautiful cage with lies and an invisible future, and then wait for some dishonest people to take the initiative to drill in and close the cage door, just as those managers of tenar do, so that these people can knock off their teeth and round their claws, from a lion to a docile cat!
Not only the old party but also the new party will use this method!
The mayor smiled bitterly and wiped his face. Although he is the mayor, he is still too far from the real power core. However, at the thought of having Dooling''s funds and manpower to support him, he will certainly step into that circle and become one of them in the next election year!
Definitely, I will!
